Seeking Collaborator/s

Hi, I am a composer/keyboard player and have been working for the last 20 years or so producing music that I think is tuneful and in the genres of rock/pop/ballad/soundtrack.

Music is very much a hobby – I am not in the music profession, but nevertheless like to spend a considerable proportion of my leisure time on this activity. I have taken tentative steps over the years to try to publish some music, at one stage even signing away some pieces, but nothing ever became of them. I think my music has matured over the years and I now have a portfolio of some old and new music on SoundCloud.

Tracks vary from simple piano pieces (Before The Snow Arrives) to more complex arrangements with many layers and sections (Darwin, Killer).

I have classical training (to Grade Eight) on piano and violin (also to Grade Eight) but haven’t picked up the violin in years. I work within Cubase with music input through an 88 note master keyboard and sounds from Native Instruments Komplete. I have a dedicated home studio in Norfolk but because of work constraints would need to collaborate with anybody interested using electronic means (sharing of files etc).

I would like to broaden my horizons and collaborate with lyricists, singers, similar minded musicians, music professionals or otherwise to try to refine some pieces (theirs or mine) with the aim of enjoyment and perhaps even opening them out to a wider audience, or even just an audience! I am thinking along the lines of, for example, writing the music for a song in collaboration with a vocal performer and lyricist or having some writing/arranging input on songs with a new band as they are setting out, but am up for anything.

If there are any interested folks out there, then perhaps you could message me or reply to this post.

Best wishes

Hywel

First I should mention that I am NOT a musician or singer...
I write music, nonetheless, happily disregarding my own limits. Hence, quite a few of my songs could do with improvements of all kinds - should they be worth the effort at all. Most of what I do is guitar-oriented rock, but there are a few keyboard heavy songs that have got particularly crude because I don't play the keyboard at all but edit all Midi tracks with the computer mouse.

Here is one that would need salvaging the most:

Others are:

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=8473338 (no Cubase files more available)
http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=8473331 (same here)

You need not like what you're hearing. Most people don't ;-)

Cheers,
Bernd
